AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
バチルス期の陶器容器で、内部が空洞の球状の胴体と、わずかに尖った底部を持つ。上部へと短く細い首が立ち、厚い縁口がわずかに広がり、小さな開口部がある。容器の肩部には、薄く刻まれた溝の装飾が見られる。胴体と口部には欠け、窪み、表面のざらつきといった使用痕がある。表面には土臭い付着物や変色が見受けられる。
このアイテムは「ギリシャの炎」と呼ばれる爆発性液体を入れ、手榴弾として使用されていた。液体の炎とも言われるギリシャ炎は、ビザンツ帝国の武器庫で最も有名な武器で、長きにわたり外国の攻撃からビザンツ人を救ってきた。防御にも攻撃にも用いられたこの武器は、ビザンツ帝国の存続にとって重要な役割を果たした。可燃混合物の配合は数世紀にわたり厳重に秘匿され、帝国の崩壊後には取り返しのつかない形で失われた。その正確な組成は今日まで明らかではない。平均的な大きさと握りから、手で投げられる短距離戦闘で用いられたと推測されるが、長距離戦闘や海上戦でも榴弾として使われた可能性を否定するものではない；カタパルトで投げられた可能性が高い。
測定値：幅 7.7 cm × 高さ 9 cm
来歴：英国私蔵コレクション出所、1990年代取得。
